• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_OWNERSHIP_BO106 - From Date must be greater than the DOI Effective From Date ?

  The SAP error message GHO_OWNERSHIP_BO106 indicates that there is a date validation issue in the system. Specifically, the error states that the "From Date" you are trying to enter must be greater than the "DOI Effective From Date."

  Cause:
  
  Date Overlap: The "From Date" you are trying to set is either the same as or earlier than the "DOI Effective From Date." This creates a conflict because the system requires that the new ownership or data entry must start after the existing effective date.

  System Configuration: In some cases, the configuration of the system may enforce strict date validation rules that are not being met.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dates: Review the "From Date" you are trying to enter and compare it with the "DOI Effective From Date." Ensure that the "From Date" is indeed later than the "DOI Effective From Date."
  Adjust Dates: If the "From Date" is incorrect, adjust it to a date that is greater than the "DOI Effective From Date."
  Review Business Logic: If you are unsure why the dates are set as they are, consult with your business process owner or SAP functional consultant to understand the business logic behind the date requirements.
  Data Correction: If the "DOI Effective From Date" is incorrect, you may need to correct it in the system, but ensure that this does not violate any business rules or data integrity.
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the entry again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
